Facade sealing for businesses in Lenham
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards using a matching sealant.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
Facade sealing in Lenham, done properly
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. Most enquiries involve water coming in around window frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, on window and door perimeters, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints. Most enquiries from Lenham start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In a smaller place such as Lenham, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will arrange a return visit.

- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.

Signs you need facade sealing in Lenham
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
On a campus such as Canterbury Christ Church University (2.5 miles north-west of Lenham), new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year.

Building and refurbishing in Lenham
Rainfall across the South East, Lenham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Lenham is about 39 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Projects at schools like Lenham Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. With historic properties like Leeds Castle (to the west of Lenham) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Quoting for work in Lenham
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Access and working height
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The product your specification calls for
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
How the job changes by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. Our work is that perimeter joint rather than the system it surrounds.
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one.
FAQs: Lenham
Is Lenham too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Lenham are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Canterbury Christ Church University?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lenham
Topping up a failed joint typically buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Small buildings around Lenham suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
